What is the maximum amount MFC can pay in cash dividends per share and maintain a minimum current ratio of 2 to 1? (Assume that all accounts other than cash remain unchanged.)

$2.50 per share

To determine the maximum amount that MFC can pay in cash dividends per share and maintain a minimum current ratio of at least 2 to 1, you must set up an algebraic problem based on the current ratio formula:

Total Current Assets ÷ Total Current Liabilities = Current Ratio

We know Total Current Liabilities equals $900,000 and our desired minimum current ratio is 2.0.

We also know cash dividends reduce cash, which reduces Current Assets, and have no affect on Current Liabilities.

Replace these terms with these values and solve for Total Current Assets.If Total Current Assets ÷ $900,000 = 2.0, then Total Current Assets = $1,800,000

If Total Current Assets are now $2,050,000, a maximum of $250,000 may be paid out in cash dividends to keep Total Current Assets from dropping below $1,800,000 ($2,050,000 - $1,800,000 = $250,000).

A delivery company is implementing a system to compare the costs of purchasing and operating different vehicles in its fleet. Truck 415 is driven 125,000 miles per year at a variable cost of $0.13 per mile. Truck 415 has a capacity of 28,000 pounds and delivers 250 full loads per year. What amount is the truck’s delivery cost per pound?

.00232

The truck has a variable cost of $0.13 per mile × 125,000 miles, or $16,250 per year. It delivers 28,000 pounds × 250 loads, or 7,000,000 pounds a year.

Dividing the annual cost of $16,250 by 7,000,000 pounds delivered each year gives a cost of $0.00232 per pound delivered.
